The WDNR Spills Program Site

The State of Wisconsin spill law (Chapter 292.11)[PDF] requires a person to immediately report the release of a hazardous substance to the environment. Best practice calls for an immediate call the WDNR to ensure you have reported the spill and have not violated any state laws. Reporting a spill protects you and your business from false accusations, establishes a record of proper reporting and cleanup, and documents that your response was in accordance to WDNR and/or WDATCP regulations.
